"Classic Moog 2 VCO Monophonic Analog Synthesizer distributed by Radio Shack under their 'Realistic' brandname. Has a lot of the build of the Moog Rogue. Monophonic with 2 VCO's and that 24db Moog filter!
Good physical condition.
Moog Basses, Leads, Sound effects!!!
***NOTE*** the built in Polyphonic organ tone does not hold tune. This has been the same for the 8 years or so that I have had it and it never bothered me as my interest was always in the 2 VCO's of course ! A simple re cap of the power supply capacitors is a common restoration step and may well fix the organ tone issue if you wanted to take that route.
When I first bought it I cleaned out the slider pots as there was a known issue with the lining turning to goo and blocking up the sliders. They are mostly a bit crackly due to lack of use, and when I want to have a play I give them a gentle spray with contact cleaner and all good. It would be a simple job for anyone with a little electronic experience to give them another clean out, or through more regular use, they would likely clear up themselves.
It is a shame to let it go, as I have a few old mono's and nothing I have matches the Moog filter.
